r re n The purpose of the invention is to provide a' board of this character which will give an aromatic odor, to protect clothing and the like from moths or other insects, and which canbe manufactured and sold 'at a reasonlQWPIlCG.

ablyprovide the board with a backing of paper, composition board or any other material, the function of the paper being to confine the aroma of the material to the inside 0 of a closet, box, chest,room and the like.

which are pressed to ether with a suitable adhesive, and the bac ing constitutes a permanent part thereof wherever the backing isemployed. r

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists ,in certain novel features .of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be more fully of shavings,

hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing-. F'gu're 1 is a perspective view showing one form of our improved board;

Figure 2 is an exaggerated fragmentary section of the board shown in Figure 1; and Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, showing a relatively thin board with a'thicker backing, such as composition board.

1 represents our improved board, and 2 a backing therefor. The board 1 iscomposed sawdust or fibre of cedar or other s'uita 1e aromatic wood, which is pressed together with a suitable adhesive so as to form a strong, durable heard, through which a nail may be driven so as to utilize the board wherever any other board might be used. I On this board 1 we referably provide a backing 2, which may of aper or cardcarryingout the invention we preferby Figure 3 of the drawing. when paper is I used its function is to keep the aroma of the boardwithin the box, closet or'room, and where composition board is used it has the added function'of giving strength to the board.

A board of this character can be manufactured and used much more cheaply than an ordinary cedar board, and it has; a wide range of utility. i,

What is claimed'is:

.An aromatic board composed of fragments of aromatic wood pressed together'to form a strong sheet, and a backing .constituting an odor insulator secured against one side only of the board or sheet.
